Linux Kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a flaw in the Netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel, specifically in the xt u32 module, which does not validate fields in the xt u32 structure. This allows a local privileged attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds read by setting size fields beyond array boundaries, potentially leading to a crash or information disclosure. The flaw is associated with the
u32 match it function and involves reading data beyond buffer boundaries in memory.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
